This Month in NextGen.

Discipling the next generation — together.

Big Events

The last Tide of 2026 is THIS SATURDAY!

We’re closing out the year with a bang. DJ D-DUBB is turning the sanctuary into a full-on praise party, and yes, there will be food. Dinner is at 6PM. Worship begins at 7PM.

This is the night to invite everybody. That friend who’s been “thinking about church”? The coworker who keeps asking what you do on weekends? The classmate who’d never come on a Sunday morning? Bring them. Come expecting joy, music, and a God who meets people right where they are.

Bring the most friends and win a Visa Gift Card! Parents are asked to sit in the overflow flow if you choose to stay and wait for your student.

Don’t just hear about it. Be there. Register today!

Next Baptism Sunday, December 27th (Save the Date!)

Baptism is a public declaration that Jesus has changed everything. If you’ve said yes to Him and haven’t taken the plunge yet, this is your moment. No more waiting, no more “someday.” Come stand before your church family and tell the world who you belong to.

And if you’re not ready to be baptized, come anyway. Come cheer, celebrate, and watch lives be made new right in front of you.

Here's who is working behind the scenes!

Minister Jordan DeVeaux

We’re grateful for the incredible team of staff that serves our church family! Minister Jordan joined the Baptist Grove Church staff in December of 2025 and is deeply invested in discipling the next generation. She will be working most closely with our Emerging Adults ministry.

Minister Marrilynn and Deacon Sylvia lead our Immersion Youth ministry, and Sister Tosh is happy to answer any questions you may have about our Discovery Kids ministry.

And of course, a shameless plug for our amazing volunteers—if you see any of our team around, be sure to say “hi” and thank them for all they do!
